Hi Jeff,

Sadly, we do not have an environment setup to build tianocore-edk2 using Visual Studio 2015. We build the edk2 from the windows command prompt using the linaro gcc toolchain for ARM/AARCH64.
Is it possible to send the error log, please ?

Evan has made a request for creation of a branch on the edk2-staging repository. We would be very happy for you to contribute changes once this is in place.

Regards,

Sami Mujawar

Hi Sami,

Just another note, acpiview doesn't currently build on Windows, at least not with Visual Studio 2015. This isn't a problem for me as I don't usually build the shell on Windows, I just happened to notice it.

Regards,

Jeff Westfahl

It seems like tab characters should be pretty universally understood, but I also don't see any tab characters in other parts of the shell code that are printed to the console.
